Ahi Kā Projection Show - Matariki ki Pōneke

Experience Matariki ki Pōneke like never before with Ahi Kā - Projection Show.

Experience an incredible large scale projection onto Te Papa Tongarewa that celebrates the Māori New Year and tells the story of Toa Rangatira and his famed kūmara gardens, which helped sustain his people of Ngāti Toa and surrounding tribes in the 1600s.

This project has been made all the more meaningful with Toa Rangatira being portrayed by one of his direct descendants, Māori astronomer and actor Toa Waaka.

The Ahi Kā Projection Show was filmed in Avalon Studios with the latest green-screen technology and will run on a 10-minute loop.

Postponement or cancellation updates will be announced on our Facebook page.
